It is good to remember it is their ocean and they can pretty much do whatever they want when you are there. Even this ... ?

Dolphins in captivity react differently as I recall, boy dolphins like behind the knee and girl dolphins like your three largest toes. It is a bizarre experience to be towed, knee or toe first. Even stranger to be towed by both simultaneously. The guy and lady in the video were fortunate that the frustrated dolphin didn't jump out of the water and land on them. That is what happened to me when my two dolphin became frustrated with sharing legs and toes between the two of them. This was at a dolphin aid organization in Miami years back when I was a teen in their man-made lagoon. They were trying to rehab and release dolphins back into the wild.
